Dr. Mrs. Anjali Gaidhane 07 03 It is time that the transgender community in India gets political representation be it Parliament State Legislative Assemblies and at the level of Panchayati Raj However the cis gender heterosexual society will take time to come to terms with the fact that the transgenders have the same rights as them and that they are human beings tooThe issues of the transgender community need to be highlighted better as issues cannot be appropriately represented by the cisgender and their issueshave remained underrepresented for years now Political presence from the community is an absolute must for any concrete policy changes Unless the transgenders do not have a medium or a platform to voice their demands and opinions the policies thus formed wont be effective It is a vicious cycle in which policy changes for the transgender can be only brought about if they have political representation and no one is ready to give them a chance to participate politically The present paper highlights the need and important challenges in the political participation of the transgenders in India Copyright (c) World Journal of Pharmaceutical Seiences.
